Reckless driving (106 in a 65) reduced to Improper Driving

I had a reckless driving case in Henrico County that was 99% guaranteed to get me at least one day of jail time: 106 mph in a 65. Mr. Weiland did not sugar coat it, but told me what to do before my court date to give me the best shot. I logged over 100 service hours, got my speedometer checked and ca...librated, and had my employer write a character letter. Henrico County is known for being hard line on speeding and anything over 100mph is considered automatic jail time. When my court date came, thankfully we had a judge that was sympathetic enough to my case (explaining since I was military I was facing disciplinary action on my end as well), I ended up having my charges lowered to "improper driving" with a $500 fine, with no criminal record. Mr. Weiland was amazing. He's also former military so he's familiar with those situations as well.

Look no further.

Mr. Weiland made me feel very confident in his ability to get me a favorable outcome. I originally found him on AVVO.com and his reviews were more than favorable. There were some reviews that made me question the clients sanity, but Mr. Weiland gave them more than a reasonable outcome on their cases.... Additionally, I’ve spoke to several lawyers before talking with Mr. Weiland and they all basically told me that they did not want to being my case to an Appeal and then charge me a ungodly amount of money. In the same light, some did not even want to try to help me because they did not like dealing with the Judge in Mecklenburg County, too strict they said, but not Mr. Weiland. He took my case with eagerness and confidence that he could give me a realistic outcome that would accomplish what I wanted. For my personal situation, I did not want a Class I Misdemeanor on my record for reckless driving because I work for the Government. Moreover, after receiving the ticket, I immediately researched how to combat my case and that was when I found out Virginia awards Reckless Driving charges for anyone speeding above 80 mph or 30mph over the posted speed limit. Additionally, I found out that attending a Defensive Driving class and volunteering for community service for a Non-profit organization could help me out, all of which Mr. Weiland suggested too when I finally talked with him, but I already had everything aligned before hand. Furthermore, I ended up completing and enjoying the 8 hour Defensive Driving Class and volunteering 106 hours for the Salvation Army, I know they miss me because I was working like I was getting paid. To look into further, I personally sorted, reorganized, categorized, and cleaned every corner of their facility, as well as professionally revitalized their landscaping without hesitation within several of their facilities. On another note, I would not hesitate on hiring Mr. Weiland again for any legal matter within Virginia and I highly recommend his services to anyone needing professional legal help. I thank Mr. Weiland and his team for helping me so much and to be able to rest easy.

Reckless Driving

Mr. Weiland is a very professional Lawyer that displays great integrity and honesty while working with his clients! Mr. Weiland had my Reckless Driving (80 MPH in a 55 MPH speed limit) dismissed on July 5, 2016. During my time awaiting for court, Mr. Weiland's team displayed great communication if I ...had any questions that needed to be answered. Mr. Weiland will be very transparent about the Best/Worst case outcomes. I hired Attorney John Weiland due to his creditable background and how he is respected by his colleagues. I would recommend Attorney John Weiland to those who have traffic citations! Lastly, Mr. Weiland's attorney fee is very respectable and affordable, and you will be satisfied with the results.

Great VA Traffic Lawyer

John was willing to talk to me long enough to get to know my situation the first time we spoke. As an out of state client he let me know what I needed to do and what documents I needed to supply for him to best represent me. He explained all possible outcomes, promising no particular one, only that ...he would work his hardest to get the best outcome he could for me. He was able to get all charges dismissed as long as i passed a driving class and paid court costs. I called many attorneys, most charging more, and some charging less, but John was the only one able to put me at ease and make me feel certain my case would get the attention it deserved. I am so glad I was represented by John Weiland. He got me the best possible outcome for my case.
